More Popular Than Ever! ‘Fortnite’ Has Been Downloaded on the Nintendo Switch Over 2 Million Times

In case you didn’t know, Fornite was recently announced for the Nintendo Switch. The game dropped later in the same day. Within 24 hours after dropping on the new gaming platform from Nintendo, the word comes down that the game has been downloaded 2 million times and counting on the home console’s eShop. Despite being blocked from cross play on Sony’s PlayStation 4, the game can be found on all platforms and can be played alongside other console versions of the game from the Switch.

Reggie Fils-Aime, president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America, spoke to Polygon about the figures. He stated: “Fortnite’s launch went extremely well — we had more than 2 million downloads in less than 24 hours. I think that speaks to the power of the franchise, the engagement of our players and the resonance of being able to play it anytime, anywhere.” Fortnite has been a massive success in the world of gaming, and it looks to only be getting bigger.
